attack of the kissanddagger

I've done all that I can. I wanted calm and instead I got held down, duct taped, and pistol whipped. I could never say no if there was something positive I could do and usually despite the lack of a thank you, I would get about two days of peace then the onslaught would begin again. In a million years, I would never say a bad word against someone. In fact my friends often try to push me to say things to show that I realize that certain ways of being treated aren't right. I still wouldn't give in because I think I can somehow rationalize away the bad treatment by focusing on what's good, but in some cases I suffer because of it. In the case of kissanddagger I suffered greatly. I was used. This I can accept, but I can't accept the constant emotional intrusion.

Thanks Ricardo but I figure if I have the ability to help then I'm obligated and it's also my pleasure to do it. I just can't stand the 10 minutes of peace and the the descent into nonsensical full on emotional assualt before the next request and then the cycle continues. Otherwise it truly makes me happy to do something good.
